Yes hot brew coffee has more acidity tan cold brew. I like hand filter coffee and I use water around 90 degree Celsius. The higher I go with to boiling water the more it washes out bitter and acidic components.
I very rarely see anyone try anything different in a 9-5 setting. People leave university, join their first job, and spend 3 years learning how to develop in one way, and only one way.

At-work choices are rarely choices, because you just do the next thing the same way as you did the last thing. If you step out of line, management will reel you back in. A 'big' change is switching from Spring to Micronaut (or vice versa).

Some examples: I have pretty strong opinions about ORMs vs SQL. It would be interesting to discuss that on the job with someone who knows both well. But the guy you'll be talking to won't have tried SQL (beyond that academic thing they learnt at uni).

Discussions about languages and types? "Java is good because it has types and JS doesn't" was the level of discourse I got at my first serious job.

Having side projects at least indicates that they can try things out first-hand, own their own feedback loop, experience some surprises, and not just mindlessly cargo-cult "best-practices".

hashtag not-all-suburbs. First of all, your description of a "suburban town" may be different from what I mean when I say "sparse suburb" (which is kind of the opposite of a town). Second, some suburbs immediately next to large cities have great schools because they're the place a lot of upper-middle class folks fled to 50 years ago. But there are also many like I describe. In the Pittsburgh area, if you're wealthy and move to the Fox Chapel suburban area, you'll have what you describe. If you move a bit farther out to Cranberry, you'll have what I described.

(Now, that said, from my spot in the city, there are about 10 different elementary schools within a 2 mile radius.)

I suspect we're using the terms in different ways because the term itself is a little .. messy: https://medium.com/pew-research-center-decoded/evaluating-wh...

Also, don't confuse my comment about choice with quality -- many US suburbs have higher quality schools than some of the cities they're adjacent to for reasons of historical racism and wealth inequality. A very separate issue from the benefits of density!

A significant amount of the covid stimulus going to grift and fraud was always the inevitable outcome for that administration. They explicitly removed any auditing provisions from the bill before it passed.
I had a similar, but different, experience. My issue is that in school I approached reading as a task to be completed in the most efficient manner possible - consuming as much as I could, as rapidly as I could, while ensuring an ability to regurgitate on demand. So I never really got to experience the joy of actually reading; in many cases I never even actually thought about what I was reading. So many books have amazing moral tales, metaphors of major events, and so on - yet one can completely consume books and remain absolutely clueless to what you're really reading.

Then as I aged, at some point I ended up getting into classical literature somehow, and now that I actually "got it" and could see and understand what it was saying - beyond the words themselves, it became a complete joy to read. For instance reading "The Republic" in modern times can make one think Plato was a prophet more than a philosopher. Or reading Aristotle's "Politics" can give one such an incredible amount of insight into thinking in the past, society, and even into your own thoughts. Or reading Aurelius' "Meditations" while bearing in mind these were the inner thoughts, never meant to be published, of not only one of the greatest leaders in history, but also arguably the single most powerful man alive at the time. It makes reading feel amazing. Another less well known example would be The King's Mirror [1]. A Norwegian text from 1250 that was a training/philosophy manual, in the form of a Q&A, intended for King Magnus VI. Highly recommended.

Now I see things like middle schoolers being assigned Animal Farm and I just kind of sigh, though it's not like I can think of a better solution!

All these decisions add up to people just not replying to interesting questions.

More often than not, nobody will reply, so all threads are just one or two levels deep. Or in the rare case someone actually replies to an interesting point, it's usually not the original poster. Probably because they had no idea that anyone had even followed up on their post.

Requests for elaboration mostly go unanswered, and comments are made expecting no replies. So people just shoot ideas into the void, with interesting interactions only happening when someone famous comments.
As soon as the privacy thing goes away, I'd say a major part of their customer base goes away too. Most people use android so they don't get "hacked" if Apple is doing the hacking, I'd just buy a cheaper alternative.
The environmental concerns I have aren't really power consumption. Making all these CPUs takes a lot of resources.
Only considering the cost of housing ignores how expensive transportation can be. See https://htaindex.cnt.org/compare-affordability/ for a comparison of affordability between housing costs below 30% of median regional income and housing and transportation costs below 45% of median regional income. When I moved to New York and got rid of my car it ended up being significantly cheaper than the Bay Area overall despite the higher rent.
Isn’t that basically package groups (or whatever the district-specific terms are)?

Eg Im pretty sure Ubuntu Desktop has some kind of “Productivity” package group that includes a word processor and spreadsheets and an email client and what not. I’m pretty sure it’s selected by default when you do a full desktop install. I don’t recall what the actual software is, but I would imagine LibreOffice.

I would agree with OP that it doesn’t really make sense for a distro, though. People really want to “make a distro” for some reason so we end up with silly shit like Kubuntu (Ubuntu… with KDE pre-installed).

My general rule of thumb is if I can point the distro’s OS package manager to the distro’s upstream (ie Ubuntu for Kubuntu, or Debian for Ubuntu) and everything works or mostly works, it should be a script or apt repo and not a distro.

There are way too many “Ubuntu but with a different default DE” distros that could really just be a modified install ISO or post-install script.
The LCOE of solar is lower than the LCOE of fossil fuels. That includes setup costs. But it also of course wins without it for both sources because you don’t need to buy the fuel. It’s not yet there if you’re also looking at the broader cycle that includes operating battery storage. The LCOE of battery and hydrogen fuel tech then depends on the price of the energy. So it’s very difficult to define. But it is getting there.

"Player of Games" is my favourite.

I didn't find that a particularly complete explanation - and the slot can't be closer to the CPU because? - I think it must be more about parasitic properties of the card edge connector on DIMMs being problematic at lower voltage (and higher frequencies) or something. Note the solution is a ball grid connection and the whole thing's shielded.

I suppose in fairness and to the explanation it does give, the other thing that footprint allows is a shorter path for the pins that would otherwise be near the ends of the daughter board (e.g. on a DIMM), since they can all go roughly straight across (on multiple layers) instead of a longer diagonal according to how far off centre they are. But even if that's it, that's what I mean by it seeming incomplete. :)

> I think the big problem with reading is that it's much slower compared to other media.

Speed is subjective. I read way faster than consuming the same thing with audio or video. Reading also gives me opportunity to wander at a pace I'm comfortable with.
What is wrong with Boeing's security?
Nix + Home Manager is by far the easiest-to-manage system for dotfile management to date for me.

The added bonus is:

1. No need for complicated directory structures that a symlink-like script needs to manage.

2. Dotfile management coupled with package management. Dotfiles only make sense as configuration to packages you have - why would you not tie these together?

3. Minor-to-no tweaks required to have a fully reproduced setup on any machine.

Seriously, I transitioned my dotfiles from my NixOS machine at home to my work-issued M2 within... an hour?

I will never not evangelize Nix.

> crisis point for publishers

Now there is something to care about: whether your kid reading or not is good for publishers.

People reading old second-hand books, even if voraciously, is also bad for publishers.
I don't think this is what you meant but it matches the spec: federated learning is being used by Apple to train models for various applications and some of that happens on device (iphones/ipads) with your personal data before its hashed and sent up to the mothership model anonymously.

I'm not sure your accountant would agree.

An un or under-rented building has some potential value based on various hand-wavy factors. Things may get better next year and you've only lost a year's of potential revenue. You may be able to hand the burning bag of dog crap to some star-eyed dreamer.

Taking out a loan, applying for permits, etc, locks in the loss. You get to tell your bank the asset they've got for collateral is worth a lot less, but hey you've got a plan that involves chopping the building apart so there are big holes in it so you can rent it to residents instead of commercial leases.

Hey it's a brand new market and a wonderful opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
They do not believe Jews have any right to national sovereignty in their own land.

No - they just don't happen agree with them on the question of whose land it is.

You don't have to agree with their historical reading of the situation, of course. But it's really quite straightforward and simple, really. And if people are firing rockets at you -- it's probably best not to invent outlandish and unreal explanations for why they're doing so.

In any case -- pretending that the rest of the world obviously and unquestionably accepts the idea that this is all "Jewish land" (now or in 1947) -- or that if they don't, it's because the simply hate Jews, or won't accept the idea of Israel existing in any form -- definitely isn't helpful.

(And no, I'm not justifying or "explaining" the firing of rockets at anyone - please don't go there).

> maybe my hope is misplaced and many-contact connections will always be worse than direct attachment

As much as I like socketed / user-replaceable parts, fact is that soldering down a BGA is a very reliable way to make those many connections.

On devices like smartphones & tablets RAM would hardly ever be upgraded even if possible. On laptops most users don't bother. On Raspberry Pi style SBCs it's not doable.

Desktops, workstations & servers are the exception here.

Basically the high-speed parts of a system need to be as close together as physically possible. Especially if low power consumption is important.

Want easy upgrades? Then compute module + carrier board setups might be the way to go. Keep your I/O connectors / display / SSD etc, swap out the CPU/GPU/RAM part.
i have experienced a lot of people who have convinced themselves they are adding value despite not coding, yes
Training and teaching is hard. "One hour of interviewing could be avoided with one hour of training" is wildly optimistic.

It also ignores the breadth of knowledge you likely want a candidate to have (and are just trying to sample at through a short few interviews). How many hours of training are you willing to sign up for? How confident are you that the knowledge will "stick" for any given candidate? Are you going to fall back to GPA and school prestige to measure how well they've retained knowledge in the past? That seems like a step in the wrong direction.
If those younger folks are as the parent says in the creative sector.

iPad has been a workflow gamechanger for folks who use photoshop etc but users are still prevented from coding on it.
Yes! Anytime you see a function signature like "int timeout", it's safe to assume that the unit is in femtoseconds and pass a gigantic number while you curse out the incompetence of the developer. Either name your variables correctly (timeoutZeptoseconds), or use a proper data type (like a Duration or Period in Java, TimeSpan in C#, or a user-defined literal in C++).
I think there are perhaps trends, but at the end of the day this phenomenon ends up being individual. I have three kids - 7, 13, and 15 - and they're all different. The older two read voraciously from 2nd grade (when they first picked up Harry Potter after finishing the Magic Treehouse series) through middle school. My oldest doesn't read as much anymore, but it's largely because he's too busy and ends up too tired to concentrate on books when he does have downtime. My middle (7th grade) still reads constantly and we've run out of bookshelf space for all the series we've purchased over the past couple of years. My youngest is in 1st grade and just started her chapter book reading journey this school year. Now she reads while she eats her meals and reads to herself every day. We take her to the public library every couple of weeks to refresh.

Two things to bear in mind: my wife & I also love reading and we have a house full of books. We've also prioritized reading to, and around, our children from the time they were infants. Even today I frequently wake my kids by reading aloud to them.
I have always found it amusing how much of our modern economic system looks something like this.

- What if everyone shared and cooperated and got along?

- Well then someone that wanted to take advantage of people would come along and make a big mess of it!

- Well what's your proposal then, should we stop those people, outlaw their greed and avarice?

- Hmm... no I think we should reward it and build our entire system around getting greed to produce useful outcomes.

- Ok, so we've been doing that for a while and the people that would have taken advantage of the commons have privatized the commons, taken full advantage of that, purchased the government, and essentially rule over us while we all fight for crumbs...

- But you've got an iPhone, so it's basically working great
Honestly, I'm surprised that it took tetris so long to be broken! I strongly suspect this will usher in a new era of any% runs, in which the goal is to get the end scene/credits of the game to run as quickly as possible.

My favourite example of this is Ocarina of Time, which has had ACE exploits for years now. The game is so totally broken, it can be "beat" in just a handful of minutes by manipulating the games memory and editing specific entrance warps.

Perhaps most incredibly, people edit the memory with their hands, using nothing more than a couple buttons and the analog joystick.

If you owned a business that had a bunch of cash sitting around with no useful growth opportunities to invest it in you wouldn't keep it in your business's bank account, you'd pay yourself and spend the money on a vacation or invest it elsewhere.

Same with a giant corporation. Its shareholders want to be invested in a business. Owning part of a business that is 10% just a giant cash pile isn't necessarily appealing. The corporation should return the cash to its investors so they can decide what they want to do with it.

I have kids and it seems like fine advice. You find books they'd be interested in by knowing about their hobbies, interests, and personality, and finding books that match that in some manner, and then pitching it to them, regardless of whether it is age appropriate or not.

Of course it is hard to do - at least, harder to do than saying "I have a 5 year old, and this book says it is for 5 year olds, so I will have them read it".

Over the last few years I've had two applications that tended to rot after a week or two running, one is Firefox, which I still use for political reasons, and VS Code, the only Electron thing I've used for more than a few hours. The other being MICROS~1 Teams, which doesn't play nice with my window manager, tries to force me into identifying myself to join some video chat for a bit, and prefers to hang rather than shut down when asked nicely. Instead I join chats without video support.

This is my problem with Electron applications. I'd be fine with them gobbling up a few GB if they were stable.
They already do this. It's called federated learning and its a way for them to use your data to help personalize the model for you and also (to a much lesser extent) the global model for everyone whilst still respecting your data privacy. It's not to save money, it's so they can keep your data private on device and still use ML.

A note, the tab key is not all that important. f6 for jumping the different parts of the screen and the arrow keys for neighbouring elements could be a good substitute for most cases. Add a few key bindings and tabless is not an issue any more.

But AMD's Mantle predates both & was proposed & what lead to Vulkan. Apple saw the fork in the road & quickly scrambled to build their own thing.

Something like this is what I had desired when briefly experimenting with Fedora CoreOS and having to build layered images for ZFS support. I was new to CoreOS and was stuck right after I finished building an OCI image. Eventually I learned that the only way forward was to boot with a base image, then layer what I had built and run `rpm-ostree commit`.

I wonder if this project would've served my use case. The OCI images you build when layering FCOS images all build atop the base FCOS image. So I would expect them to be "bootable" in some sense.
I don't think "I can teach someone data structures in 1 hour" is a good faith interpretation of what OP meant. I would expect it's more like "I could teach someone about a data structure that could be used to solve this problem efficiently and simply in 1 hour" is closer to the mark.
That's still only one third to one half of a fully loaded system legible worker though. And when illegible labor goes away, it's not like there's a supply of legible workers that have been just sitting around waiting to take over the work. This also ties in to the seeming overabundance of management layers, as there are now drastically fewer people to be managed.
